Too long...

I admit, I should have been updating the blog more often. I bet everyone and anyone who ever used to drop by has stopped doing so... :/ But here I am anyway. Maybe people will find their way back.

Let me make a quick wrap-up.

Lotta, had five lovely puppies on March 3.. Everything went well and four of the dogs have found a new home. We kept one and chose that one only by the looks right after birth. She is the crazy one... Lesson learned? Yup, do not judge only by the looks. :D

I had my wrist (canalis carpi) operated just before summer. It is a million times better now and whatever pain is left, the medicines help for that. It still is not perfectly well, but I am more than happy with it.

Summer has gone by. We have had some lovely visitors. Including my mom and her "boyfriend", my dad and his wife, my cousin with her children and our aunt, and Kaisu - my dear friend. Of course there has been many others, however they are not that rarely seen, so I do not mention them now.

AND even if the summer in most parts is over, here comes great news (I think): today was the second day of my (and Roope's) SUMMER HOLIDAY. Yippee! We have too many things we need to get done and too many people we should see and too little time to do it all... however, it is the holiday and I really was in the need of one.


To end this post, let me add a scrap book page. It is NOT made by me, but I took it out of Scrapbook Flair. A person called Broody Hen has made it. But my heart screamed "YES" to the message.

It has been a nice day today; we've had some friends visiting. First, Lasse Niskala, Roope's very good friend is staying with us for the weekend. He is a great photographer and he took some pics of our animals. The photos on this post are taken by him. (take a look at some of his phenomenal photos HERE )

Then Roope had his bass-student over and his mom came to have a chat and a cup of coffee in the meanwhile. They are our neighbours and have stables with 14 (I think that's correct number) Islandic Horses. She is really nice and it was fun having her over.

In the evening a whole family of friends joined us; Suvi and Jussi came over with they daughters Ronja and Meeri. Sauna, friends, and a good meal - can you think of a better way to spend your Friday evenings? :)

So, today has been "nothing much and quite a lot" at the same time.


Other than today... well... it has been work work work and some studies. I am getting my studies done in schedule, visited doctor's yesterday and am waiting for an operation for my right hand wrist. AND have only three more night sifts before my winter holiday! That is something to look forwards!


One more thing... Lotta will have puppies. On the March 8 th is the due date. So that is exciting!!

She has gone home

The new year of 2009 has barely began - and already both joy and sorrow have been a part of it... I guess, that's what life is all about...

One of the most amazing (is not "the most") women of God I have ever known and met has moved on from this world to the next one, to meet her Lord and Savior. She battled with ALS for 18 months, shared her heart with the world in her blog, and finally moved on, leaving behind many thankful and grieving hearts. Her blog is well worth reading, if you haven't done so yet!
